...

The Golden Bull Sacred Beast has occupied the Spirit-combating Body. Although its strength cannot reach the peak condition of a Saint Beast, it is significantly stronger than its previous Beast Soul state... Particularly because its Beast Soul now has a new host, it does not have to worry about being devoured by Xiaolong.

At least, not in the short term…

Unless Xiaolong can swallow the massive and incredibly heavy Golden Giant Bull and digest it in a very short time, otherwise the Golden Bull Sacred Beast can fully rely on the terrifying power of this Spirit-combating Body to forcibly break through Xiaolong's body defenses, or even kill Xiaolong.

Clearly, Xiaolong can't do that…

The materials used for this Spirit-combating Body are very special, almost all made by smelting very rare metals. Although its defensive capabilities might not be able to match that puppet person of North Sea Purple Copper in Qin Fang's hands, it shouldn't be too far off.

Whether it can bite through is hard to say, let alone digest in an instant… Xiaolong clearly doesn't have such a good appetite.

"This is indeed somewhat troublesome..."

Little Dragon appears extremely vigilant, not rushing to take action, but flying around the body of the Golden Giant Bull, seeking a suitable opportunity to attack, while Qin Fang also frowned, contemplating a strategy.

The piercing Beast Soul of the Golden Bull Sacred Beast is hiding inside the tortoise shell; as long as it doesn't come out, Qin Fang and Xiaolong don't have any trouble at all.

Divine Silkworm?

Clearly won't work!

The Divine Silkworm can devour many fierce Spiritual Beasts, Spiritual Beast Kings, and might even dare to bite Demon Beasts, but facing this seamless metal lump, it has no chance at all, as it doesn't eat metal.

Split Wind Wolf King?

Still doesn't work!

Its greatest advantage is its speed, almost reaching an invincible level, but... Facing this giant metal lump, stable as a mountain, the speed of the Split Wind Wolf King is completely useless against it.

Needless to say, the defensive capabilities of this metal lump are truly invincible, if the Split Wind Wolf King's claws and fangs were to nibble hard, they might directly snap off.

"Headache..."

Facing such a "tortoise shell," Qin Fang is quite troubled too.

Moo~~

Though Qin Fang and his side are passive, it doesn't mean the Golden Bull Sacred Beast won't attack… Just hearing a resounding and earth-shattering bull call, then the Golden Giant Bull suddenly stamped its hoof heavily down onto the ground, with strength even more terrifying than last time.

Crack, crack, crack~~~ Boom boom boom~~~ Snap snap snap~~~

A series of noises followed, the ground seemingly unable to withstand such giant strength's assault, began to crack, with some ground fissures directly forming ravines several or even over ten meters deep!

Even the nearby Taurus Sanctuary at this moment is violently trembling and beginning to teeter, with quite a few places showing cracks, you can even see some of the beams on the temple roof breaking, stones, and wood tumbling down.

Of course, such a crisis is a disaster, a nightmare for ordinary people, but for a master like Qin Fang, it's not even considered dangerous... The falling stones couldn't even approach Qin Fang's body before being shattered and blown away by a force.

And it's not as if Ocello, though severely injured, came across any mishaps with Qin Fang's protection.

However, Qin Fang didn't want to be buried alive, even if it's not dangerous. He immediately dashed out from the ruins of the temple, rushed to the main battlefield in front, watching the battle between the Golden Giant Bull and the Divine Beast Xiaolong.

The Golden Giant Bull immediately launched an offensive, you could see its incredibly heavy body actually leaping into the air... On the ground, where its hooves landed, it stomped out four massive holes, this burst of power is absolutely terrifying beyond reason.

At this moment, Xiaolong is spiraling and cruising in mid-air, looking for the right opportunity to strike, only to find that the Golden Giant Bull attacked first, and rushed straight towards Xiaolong's body, fast and fierce…

With the Golden Giant Bull's body weighing tens of tons, and the Spirit-combating Body's terrifying power, if this blow hits its target, the damage might be quite terrifying… Although it wouldn't kill Xiaolong in one hit, it would surely severely injure it.

Roar~~~

Little Dragon naturally isn't foolish, it has been on guard against the Golden Giant Bull's attack long before, seeing the opponent move, it almost didn't think before its body swayed, its large, slender body suddenly soared over ten meters high.

Such a little height, for the Little Dragon, whose body length exceeds 20 meters, is merely stretching lazily, nothing significant at all.

However, for the Golden Giant Bull weighing dozens of tons, it's suddenly a daunting gorge in front of it... To sneak attack the Little Dragon, it almost used all its strength, merely allowing its heavy body to leap 20 meters high.

The strength required for such a movement alone is an unimaginably terrifying number...

This is the unique benefit of the Spirit-combating Body; even if other metal lumps burned the Beast Soul's power, they might not release such fearsome power... Unfortunately, its valiant effort still led to failure.

The Little Dragon is just a touch above its head; the Golden Giant Bull knows clearly that if it ascends two or three more meters, it can reach the Little Dragon, but it is simply unable to do so.

Pa~~

Yet the Little Dragon can easily reach it... Almost as the Golden Giant Bull is exhausted and descending, the Little Dragon swiftly struck, its powerful dragon tail fiercely whipping the bull's belly.

The sound is quite deep, humming...

But after succeeding, the Little Dragon showed no joy and swiftly flew away, distancing itself from the Golden Giant Bull... It wasn't afraid of the bull's counterattack, but it had suffered quite a loss.

"Ah, it's forged from pure metal, there's no pain at all..."

Qin Fang connected with the Little Dragon's mind and naturally understood the situation thoroughly!

Even though the Little Dragon's dragon tail is incredibly tough, and its power extreme, the Golden Giant Bull is a Spirit-combating Body, entirely crafted from metal. Though the Golden Bull Sacred Beast's Beast Soul can control it, it's merely control, not a full fusion. At least, the Golden Bull Sacred Beast has no pain sensation, let alone the Beast Soul itself.

Moreover, this Spirit-combating Body isn't so simple... It also possesses some simple counterattack mode; clearly, while the Little Dragon succeeded, it was unexpectedly countered by this Spirit-combating Body, taking a hidden loss.

Though it's Qin Fang's first time encountering a Spirit-combating Body, he spent considerable time with the Puppet person and naturally knew many techniques... While this Spirit-combating Body isn't on par with the Puppet person, it's carefully crafted, not simple at all.

Seeing the Little Dragon suffering this hidden loss, Qin Fang had no better solution.

"Delay..."

The only strategy left was to drag it out, ordering the Little Dragon directly.

"Since it's in Beast Soul state, I don't believe it can stay fused with the Spirit-combating Body for long... Otherwise, it would've done so already, not pushed to this point to act!"

It's Qin Fang's thought, feeling that the Saint Beast Spirit likely has significant flaws.

At least, the Little Dragon being outside is a considerable expenditure... If not for Qin Fang holding a large piece of Barbaric God Stone to waste, the Mystic Realm's Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi would've long been insufficient.

Though the Golden Bull Sacred Beast is only left with the Beast Soul, its consumption is much lesser than the Little Dragon's, merging with the Spirit-combating Body likely brings substantial consumption too... The Little Dragon's strength replenishment is ongoing, but the Golden Bull Sacred Beast lacks any.

Who can endure till the last will naturally triumph...

If the Golden Bull Sacred Beast can't sustain, the Beast Soul will have no choice but to withdraw, with only one outcome... being devoured by the Divine Beast Xiaolong.

If the Little Dragon can't endure, the Golden Bull Sacred Beast will naturally breathe a sigh of relief, possibly seizing the opportunity to make a deadly move on Qin Fang standing on the side. At that moment, no one can likely stop it, not even the Split Wind Wolf King!

Upon hearing Qin Fang's command, the Little Dragon immediately ascended higher, yet still circled around the Golden Giant Bull's body... Watching it intently, but not allowing it a chance to escape, as flying provides a broader vision, unobstructed by terrain, rendering the Golden Giant Bull's massive body hard to hide.

Moo~~

But as the Golden Giant Bull senses Qin Fang and the Little Dragon's plan, it can no longer sit still!

Qin Fang isn't aware of its specific consumption, but it's crystal clear to itself... To survive, the Saint Beast Spirit minimises its consumption as much as possible, yet over thousands of years, it still suffered significant depletion.

Now it's directly merged with this Spirit-combating Body, expending energy exponentially, if this persists, no need for the Little Dragon to act, it might dissipate the Beast Soul itself...

And when the Beast Soul is about to dissipate, it will surely withdraw from the Spirit-combating Body, giving the Little Dragon an opportunity to strike... Leading to the miserable end of being devoured by the Divine Beast Xiaolong!

Thus, it must save itself!

The only way is... assassinate Qin Fang!

The Little Dragon was summoned by Qin Fang, the specific method no longer needs detailed investigation, but one point is certain... If Qin Fang is eliminated, the Little Dragon even if not dead, will surely retreat, consequently ensuring its survival. (Continued in the next excerpt.
